SunDevil Report post Posted August 29, 2006 Was out on my first scouting trip so far this year. Saw a really nice 2 point. He probably had 18" main beams and 9 inch G2s. He also had 2 inch kickers coming off from his G2s. The problem is he only had little nubs for G3s. Probably not 1 inch yet. Without G3s, he is probably a 95 inch buck but with even 1 inch G3s and 3 inches of 4th mass he is a 100 inch buck. Is he done growing or will those G3 nubs get some more length to them? Unfortunately my wife had the camera and I didn't throw in my video camera. Another interesting thing about this buck is that he was standing right out in the sun at 4:30 in the afternoon. Not exactly what I was expecting but right out there non the less. Thanks for your thoughts. CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 29, 2006 I think he isn't done growing yet. It's not even Sept. I think most of the antler rubbing is done in October, although some in Sept. I would guess you could get 1 inch nubs on those g-3's. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25-06 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 I have seen deer taken in the Oct. hunt that were still in full velvet, this time of year while they are growing antlers they feed alot and that mite splane why he was out in the sun @ 4:30...Gotta love this time of year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted September 18, 2006 Ol Littlebear just got pics from Sept 15th that had a buck just starting to shed it looks like. The G2 on it's left antler was just poking thru the velvet. Should be soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunDevil Report post Posted September 25, 2006 was out this last weekend (9/23 - 9/24). every buck we saw (25 bucks in 2 days) was still in velvet. we were in a southern unit and maybe they shed their velvet earlier in the northern units. CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted September 25, 2006 Chris, with all the rain down south this year, you probably were seeing moss growing on the antlers, not velvet RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
